[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8852402, member: 674149"] So if you have an old metal stick antenna or a long extended one, those aren't powered. If you have something with a short height, like a shark antennae, those are amplified. 1) It should pretty much be your ANTenna wire that is missing. It should tell you in the head unit's manual to verify. [B]I would also think that if I spent two minutes searching for it, I could find the wiring diagram or pinout for a 2005 CRV. You should be able to find which of those pins it is. [/B] 2) The side you took a picture of doesn't help, and we could probably narrow it down to a few based on the wire color if we had to. If you can install it without it mounted, you COULD try to backprobe different pins on the harness for continuity. My guess is the antenna only gets powered when am/fm is on. 3) If you have your old head unit still, you could do the same thing, and if we could see the other side, we could probably narrow it down to a few pins, you would pull out that pin, and see if it changes. 4) If you can see where it is mounted (the roof), you might be able to find the harness around what I would guess would be the back where the plastic pillar mount meets the headliner. There might be lights in there too, but if you find an identical wire, then bingo. I think your best option is to spend less time searching for the pinout then I did writing this, and then you need to connect to that pin. [/QUOTE]
